Pros

There is TONS of work to do - you won't be bored. Free Parking. Benefits. 20 PTO days per year. Nice people. New building. Free coffee/tea.

Cons

50+ hours per week expected in my department. Some departments require overtime to be worked at the office, even though they provide laptops so you CAN work from home. Most processes are overly complicated. Management sets deadlines that are much too short and are unrealistic. For example, an email may be sent out at 10pm at night, requesting an answer by 9am the next day when many hours of work are needed to complete the request.

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
